How Well do the Dillards Know Each Other?

Jill and Derick Dillard took a whirlwind trip to New York City this week. We posted their interviews with Fox & Friends (click to view) and TODAY.com (click to view), and now we have a video to share of their appearance on PEOPLE NOW. Watch as the future parents answer interview questions and then take a test to see how well they know each other.

Jill and Derick appear in the following video from 13:30-20:00 and again from 22:36-26:30.
*The video contains other celebrity news that might not be suitable for all viewers, which you can skip by sliding the playback bar to the times specified above.

I don't watch the show anymore because it's just not the same as it used to be. The show originally was to use their story to help others grow in christ. Now its 'look at me look at me' 'everybody ooh and ahh about whats going on in my life'. So sad. I will probably still tune in for big things like births and weddings but its so disappointing to see them become "celebrity" status.

I respectfully disagree that they are over saturating themselves. I'm so thankful that they are out there with their wonderful morals and values and we need more of them. In fact, I heard this week that a certain TLC series will stop shows due to a criminal matter. How about a spin-off Duggar show of all the married couples?!!! Love y'all, Edie

I think they are very genuine and why in the world do people want to say derogatory things about such a kind young couple? They put themselves out there probably as part of their income. What's wrong with that? The negative people are probably not able to support themselves as well as they see the Dillards and Duggars doing and are jealous.

I just think the Duggars should have tried to insist that TLC treat the fans a little better. I feel like the family and the network just taunted us with the wedding episode and it was not very appreciative of the fan base. I just loved Jill and Derick's story when they were in Nepal. I feel cheated as they appear so different now. JMO. No offense and hope I am misunderstanding?

The host copped out and asked them silly questions... he really needed to ask them questions about how they are going to be going about dealing with their different growing up lifestyles, Derick's mainstream education and their own children's plan for that...how they deal with socializing with his college/hs friends who live differently from Jill..will she meet them at Applebees, whose restaurants have a bar? Do they have a TV in their house to watch the games, invite friends, not her buddies or family, over to watch and have snacks? How do they deal with their differences? What does Mrs. Cathy think of her son's change in lifestyle varying from the one she and her husband exposed her sons to?

They are not "selling themselves to the world" this is part of their outreach. They cannot show people God's love if the stay at home all of the time and do nothing but change diapers and mop floors. They are reaching more people this way. Now viewers who would never watch their show are seeing them on normal TV shows like People Now and Fox and friends and Today. Not trying to be protective or anything but that is what they have said on their show several times before regarding why they have a TV show.

I enjoy watching your show so much..It is inspiring to me.But it almost is unrealistically Happy lol. I have three Childern and I can't seem to keep my calm like Michelle.Is there any good tricks to defuse a hectic moment?Like when the Childern begin to Argue and tattle tail???? I just want Peace please....and Thank you

People can say all the negative what they want about courting, the Duggar family values, etc. but I'd take it over what I see going on in other reality shows and I'll definitely take it over what I hear going on down the street from where I live! Jill and Derrick are wonderful souls and soooo HAPPY. More power to them!
